Relationship Advice from A Divorce Lawyer
The best relationship advice often comes from divorce attorneys and exotic dancers. A divorce attorney made a TikTok about the five worst professions for a future spouse…but it only applies to women. Miss Bristol, the infamous juror from the Nikolas Cruz trial, was dismissed for her unavailability. Miss Bristol doesn't mind. If she'd stayed in the jury, she would've lost $8,000 a month.
